Erin –
This is very good! However, it is also VERY spicy…which I suppose is common for curry recipes, but taper down on the cayenne pepper if you prefer your curry a little more “tame.”

Thanks for the tip!
Martha Rock –
this is the best mango, shrimp, sweet potato recipe.
It can be frozen, too. Add more can coconut and less water.
